Some gamers in Australia would not think of it as positive.
Now there's a fundamental difference between violent video games and rape. (I shall refer to the former as VVGs for the sake of time.)
Now, VVGs are games that are violent. Whether or not they make people violent are another argument. Rape is a heinous act of sexual violence that mentally and emotionally scars people, I should know, because there are a few people at my who who were raped.
Now, if there was indeed a petition to help stop rape in Africa, a petition wouldn't really do anything. Petitions don't stop illegal activities, it's people who stop illegal activities.
If I was given the political power to go to Africa, round up every rapist, and castrate them with a cigar cutter (for males) or render them unable to have sex without extreme pain (females) then I would do so.
As I cannot, and since I have no power over anything beyond making it known to the people around me that stuff like that was happening, I can do nothing, except spread the word.
Now, there are programs that teach women how to protect themselves from potential rapists, and I've read stories of how people stopped rapes, so there is something beyond police action being done.
Returning to games; games are simply virtual simulations of events. GTA is no exception. Sure, some people will not play it, but it's their personal desire. Whereas there are people who want to play it, and the same goes for them.
You and other people choosing to prevent people from making that choice, of making them incapable of obtaining said game except illegally, is morally wrong in my point of view.
Chances are, there will be a counter petition, or people will simply go over the law if it is made into a law.
Ultimately, like the rape petition scenario, the plan is doomed to failure.
I apologize if this topic is causing people discomfort or said people are offended. I am simply arguing against his logic in a clear and (hopefully) concise way. I personally hope all rapists are euthanized in a painful manner, mainly due to how heinous their actions are.
